Though I cannot change the animation names of Bash so I decided Cold Arrows as base ability (now I can change the anims name) but I want to have "Bash" effect on it.

It's like each time that "Base Cold Arrow" ability is fired. "Bash effect" is casted upon the enemy unit.

Any ideas how to?

you would most likely need a damage detection system for this. there's plenty around.

when the unit takes damage and the attacked unit has buff caused by a buff from the ability (i'm not too sure with these events), make a dummy unit and order it to cast a storm bolt spell.

In addition to Light's post:
make a dummy unit and order it to cast a war stomp spell.

Differences:
War stomp is instant.
Storm bolt is not.
Also make sure that you set the dummies right.
(no movement, no turn rate, no cast point, no mana cost, 1 range, targets all units, etc, etc, etc.)

Unless you actually order the unit to use it by pressing the ability and the targeting an enemy there won't be any order besides the normal attack target.

So I'm thinking that while you're just auto attacking with autocast on it won't actually use another anim than attack?

most likely.
i thought of the orb of lightning effect but i'm not sure if it applies here.
